I can give you an alphabetic list of the trails and the mileage for each as per the Brown Book. You will also need to keep one of the $1 maps highlighted as you complete each trail. The actual trails will be the ones that are “open” the year you file for your 900 mile patch, as the Park opens and closes some trails each year. Let me know if you would like that list. I have it on an excel spreadsheet, but I can cut and paste it to almost anything you like. And many people take ten years to complete. I am hoping to be done in 4 years as I am over 54% in one and half years.

So far I've been highlighting all the trails I do on the map as well as writing a bit about each trip to help keep track of what I found especially interesting about the trail. And you can take as long as you like finishing, no one year time limits.

it took me just over ten years for me to complete, so no, there's no time limit................you'd have to be on the trail a bunch in order to complete it in one year.......

i did 3 things----highlighted the trails on the map, kept a log, and made a spreadsheet to keep track........when i sent in all the stuff, i just made a copy of the log and sent that in.......

.fwiw, i have a spreadsheet that lists all the trails, mileage, mileage done, and percent done if anyone wants it..............just send me an email address............the spreadsheet is real easy to use.......

You can also make a black and white copy of the trail map, blow it up and highlight the trails as you finish. You can take as long as you want, but keep a journal, there are some documentation requirements for membership in the club. Good luck and enjoy the journey!
